Chapter 480 481. Nan Wang Clan

Jin Qianqian listened quietly. Fortunately, the young lady of the Nan family was a good-tempered person and was playing with her two children at the moment.

"Madam, don't worry too much. Miss Nan is gentle and lovely. She will find a suitable husband."

Nan Wang looked at her daughter lovingly, then lowered her voice and asked softly, "Is there something I can ask Madam Gu?"

Jin Qianqian raised her eyebrows, "Madam, please tell me what I know."

These days, Prefect Nan has taken good care of them.

Banquets were delivered every now and then, and runners from Lecheng were asked to guard the inn to prevent anyone from causing any conflict between her and the child.

“I just want to ask, how did Madam Gu value the Gu Tairen at that time?”

This was the first time that Jin Qianqian encountered someone gossiping about her private affairs in front of her.

"Madam Gu misunderstood," Nan Wangshi also realized that she had said something wrong, "To be honest, Madam, my master and I want to help Yue'er choose a good husband from among the juren and xiucai.

I don't dare to expect her to find a top scholar like Master Gu, I just hope that he has some ambition and can give me a stable and peaceful life."

Jin Qianqian fell into memories and talked about the original owner being with Gu Laoqi. It should be because Gu Laoqi agreed to help her with the funeral of Jin's grandmother.

The original owner was in a desperate situation at the time, so she grabbed this life-saving straw and married Gu Lao Qi, who had nothing at the time.

In the early years, life was really hard. We were so poor that we sometimes had to borrow food.

"If Madam Gu feels embarrassed, you can just pretend that I didn't ask." Seeing that the other party had not answered, Nan Wangshi quickly spoke up to smooth it over.

Jin Qianqian shook her head and said, "I just remembered some past events.

It’s funny to say that I was with my husband because of my grandmother’s order and the matchmaker’s words.

At the beginning, life was ordinary, but later we escaped from famine and supported each other all the way, and have come to where we are today step by step."

What she said was something that everyone could check. She understood the other party's love for his daughter, but she still felt a little unhappy about being pried into someone's privacy.

Nan Wangshi, "This kind of relationship is the most reliable. No one will be able to surpass Madam Gu in the future."

Jin Qianqian, "That's true. If Madam Nan is willing to listen to me, I do have a small suggestion."

Nan Wangshi: "Madam Gu, please speak."

Jin Qianqian looked at Nan Yue'er, "Your daughter should be simple by nature. If Madam wants to help her find a husband, it would be best to find one with a simple family background."

"Only son?"

Jin Qianqian shook her head. "You can start with the other person's parents and his character. After all, they are people you will be living with for a long time. Getting to know them early will be more conducive to getting along with them in the future."

Nan Wangshi, "How can we be sure of this?"

These are all things that happen in the inner house, and being a daughter-in-law and being a mother-in-law are two different things.

Jin Qianqian leaned forward slightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something. Everyone saw Nan Wang nodding continuously and giving Jin Qianqian a thumbs up from time to time.

"Thank you so much for today," Nan Wang held Jin Qianqian's hand reluctantly as she left. "It's a pity that I have to follow Master Gu to take up his post. Otherwise, I would really like to keep you here for a while longer."

Just now, the prefect Nan sent someone to inform us that a caravan was coming and would be heading to the county before Lucheng in two days.

With the government office stepping in, the other party would naturally be willing to give them a ride.

Jin Qianqian also shook her hand back, "We have a long way to go in the future, maybe we can meet again someday.

Sister Wang, you can write to me more often in the future, but don’t forget me.”

"How is this possible? I can't love such a lovely sister enough. Don't think I'm nagging you. You have to prepare everything when you go out. Do you think you need anything? Just tell me and I'll send it to you."

Jin Qianqian immediately declined politely, and after much persuasion, she finally sent the person away. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Madam, please have some tea." Lichun saw her sit down and quickly brought her some tea.

Jin Qianqian took a few sips and said, "It's getting late today, so you and the housekeeper can go out and see what we need to prepare tomorrow.

Although we have prepared everything before, there are some things that are not a problem if there are too many, so just buy them."

Although she had just started to call Madam Nan sisters, she could tell the truth from the falsehood. Both sides wanted to be friends, and they chatted back and forth, which seemed lively, but only they themselves knew how much sincerity they had given to each other.

It should be the beginning of spring, and I should prepare to take people out again the next day, and prepare as many things as possible for the two young masters and their wives.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, two carriages came to the inn. They were specially prepared for her by Mrs. Nan.

Jin Qianqian couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it, thinking to herself that she would return the gift when she got to the place she wanted.

After this precedent was set, the door of the inn never closed throughout the afternoon. People kept bringing in gifts, and some even just dropped them off and left without even a place to push them.

Jin Qianqian had no choice but to ask someone to send a letter to Nan Wangshi, asking her to help return the gifts.

Nan Wang even made a special trip and said, "Sister, just accept it. These people are used to changing their minds at the slightest provocation. These are all insignificant things."

Jin Qianqian, "But how can this stop me from staying in Lecheng in the future? I have no way to return the gift."

"Sister, you are still too immature. These will become the norm in your future life." Nan Wang lowered her voice and reminded her, "Three years as a magistrate, a hundred thousand silver coins were accumulated in this way."

Jin Qianqian, "..." This is indeed another world. No wonder these people are always working hard to climb up no matter what era they are in.

"Don't worry, they just want to establish a good relationship with you, and they won't expect you to return the gift." Nan Wang said, covering her mouth and laughing, "Didn't my sister encounter such a situation in Shangjing?"

Jin Qianqian shook her head in a daze, "My husband has been in the Hanlin Academy before, and he has nothing to do all day except editing books.

Apart from the personal connections with some people in the backyard, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation."

This should be the day with the most items she has ever received. With all these things, two carriages would probably be packed full.

Nan Wangshi, “…you’ll get used to it a few more times in the future. Sometimes, if you don’t accept a gift, it will be a burden to others.

My master said that we will set out before dawn tomorrow, and I will see you off at the city gate then."

Nan Wangshi did show some sincerity to this newly acknowledged sister at this time, but she didn't know what kind of picture would be drawn on this blank sheet of paper in the future.

Jin Qianqian waved her hands quickly, "How dare I trouble you, sister? Look, I have all the manpower and everything ready. I will just rest in the carriage tomorrow. There is no need for you to make another trip."

Jin Qianqian had to persuade Nan Wang to give up the idea.
